RANT ON regarding this country

[nadinbrzezinski]

you know why the bully continues to hit? Because we continue to cower. It is clear now that the only way to get this ship of state to change its course is for mass marches now and all the time, it is worst, may take an actual revolution, and a Ceausescu moment, so how long until that happens?

Vote in 2006, we will take back the house, the senate, what have you... yep assuming Diebold does not get 100 votes per each one of your votes.

Yes this is a very frustrating moment, and right now I am wondering if people will just continue to talk and how long until we act? Oh and one demo in DC will be easy to ignore, a national general strike maybe not that easy to ignore by the traitors in the media... so yes I am very frustrated right now....

In the course of human affairs and all that..

1. We have long past the point

where in almost every other country or type of country there would be mass rallies in the streets. Physically, people simply don't move that way over here. They plonk down in front of electronic boxes and meet physically on the fly at other events that are supposed to totally absorb their attention. Activists may be outnumbered and outperformed by chess clubs and Star Trek Conventions. This is a war against inertia within a crisis raging and crowning quickly over us.

Even in history we are so far from "mobocracy" that we are the extreme of the other end, thuggish individualists, compartmentalized niches, syncretistic ideological diversity estranged from actual civic power. Homogenized democracy turned sour and on the shelf expired, afraid of opening.

2. Got a weird feeling something's gonna happen. . .

that is not fit to be mentioned here.

4. I hope you are right, for I am tired of waiting for the rest of

the country quite honest

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Then I guess it is time to hang my shingle

and just wait for what may come, or look for a way out...

I know why people have not risen, but still there are days, and I am having one of them WHEN THE HELL IS THE REVOLUTION GONNA HAPPEN? Maybe, we are all deluding ourselves, and never is the answer

5. my optimism is gone

Sorry Nadine, The Dems have no leaders with a backbone. They seem to have silenced Dean. We could win if we had leaders who believed in something other than their reelection. The pukes have fucked things up royally, yet noone steps foward and says they have to go .

7. that ist he classic mistake

everybody is waiting for soembody else to lead... we ARE them leaders... but not until we all step to the plate

Been trying but everybody goes, but the Dems, fuck ALL POLITICIANS... we are the leaders... they have too damn much to loose

9. I am so sick and tired of this shit

I am going to be 61 in a few months. Time to pass the torch- guess what? no es possible, no one wants it.

6. I believe we'll see a revolution

but it's going to take something really bad....really bad.
Things are changing so fast it's like full steam ahead.

8. how much bigger that what we have been treated to over the last

two weeks, though granted disasters like that (and the response, or rahther lack off) usually lead to changes, but I have lost hope that this will happen here... not until people go, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and damn it ACT ON IT...

Sorry, bad day I guess

10. I know, I feel your pain

I go through this too often now. The "big one" was right after the election. And it just keeps getting worse and I know, you think damn how bad does it have to get? But look, Dems are still talking about "elections" and taking back the house and who they'll vote for in 2008 and I do not believe for a second we will ever see free and fair elections until major reform! So the mentality is still there that our leaders are going to save the day, and it just is not going to happen.
I feel bad for all these people who are going to have to learn the hard way....but once they do....hopefully they will be so pissed off and ready to fight. Sometimes it takes a very bad personal experience for people to wake up. And sometimes they never do. But no matter what, I do believe that this regime has big plans and they have 3 years to make a huge mark on history, so those of us who are awake......keep vigil, I do believe we are in for some rough weather.
